Melyd

Saint Melyd is a Welsh saint, perhaps of the 6th century, linked with the county of Denbighshire in north-⁠east Wales. Very little is known about him.

The only place now tied to his name is the parish and village of Gallt Melyd in Denbighshire. The parish church, dedicated to him, dates from the Middle Ages but was greatly renewed in the 19th century. Near the village is the spring Ffynnon Felyd. The antiquary Edward Lhuyd mentions him in his Parochiala. The saint's feast used to be kept on 9 May, by the Western calendar (new style). The sources at hand say no more of his life. He is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
